No, this is not the new STEEMBAY logo... but this is how we feel right now. We really, really wanted to have a decision for you ready, to be able to pay out the bounty of 60 SBD before christmas.

BUT THERE IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH CREATIVITY ON STEEMIT

We got more than 70 entries on the contest, which is amazing, overwhelming and simply great. Initially we wanted only decide between the three most voted by the community. At that time we expected like 10 contributions to the contest. This would have been quite fair, easy and fast.

The issues:

  • We will have to work on a daily basis and got a lot of great ideas that are just not practicable in this daily use.
  • unknown / new users with great ideas, but no follower base nearly have NO chance of winning
  • users with a large followerbase could have sent any crap and let their followers vote for the contribution (Gladly, it seems this did not happen...)
  • We were reported by several users we trust, that it was difficult and laggy to place votes during the last hours
  • Those placing a sloppy idea very fast had a big time advantage in relation to those putting a lot of effort and time in developing their ideas
  • Most placing votes did it for national / personal / friendship reasons, which is totally understandable, but not suitable for a reasonable selection.

The solution

We will look into ALL contributions, test them on the platforms, compare creativity, usability, professionality AND VOTES and decide this way in the coming days which will be the future STEEMBAY logo.

For the additional waiting time we will add several honorable-mention-prices, because we think that so much creativity has to be honored in a better way, than initially planned.

TL&DR

  • We will need some time to decide the winner
  • still EVERYBODY, not only the three most voted have a Chance to win.
  • Price for the winner is still 60 SBD but we add several SBD and places for honorable mentions
  • STEEMIT is so full of creativity, we are still astonished.
  • THANK YOU

yours

As a participant, I consider it important to point out the importance of who proposed an idea for the first time. I could notice how several people used the concept, range of colors, typography and manner of presentation of those who posted in the first two days. There is also a difference between "image" and "logo" and the selection would have to be based on those basic design concepts. There are several images and only some logos. The contest idea was to do a "logo" that fixed in to a any image and..i asume that it has to look professional cause Steembay is a place where u trust ur money/steems and gotta looks like it's a safe place where i can trust my money... Hope you announce results soon! Quiero invitar a comer pescado frito a mi madre en La guaira :3

I totally agree with you :)

Jaja ame el comentario en español como para distraer

It was super smart to make this decision, it would be a mistake to decide by votes being that it could have no relationship with quality and creativity, we look forward to the result, changes and editions are available in my designs.

I already want to take the cider.

I think it's fair, I usually participate in contests where the final decision is in the hands of the creator of the contest and it's the only thing that gives me the peace of mind to participate, I think the contests based on votes are too unfair but I still participate because I like it compete even though I know that the competition is unequal and there are some users who resort to the last minute vote increase which I think is mediocrity. if the design does not taste at first it is because it is not good enough. I feel happy to have participated thanks to all those who sincerely supported me.

I think it's a good decision, I'm not participating but I love watching the work of other users, there are a lot of talented people and some who only had votes but their designs said nothing. Good luck.

It's looking more fair. I was thinking never win. I didn't have a chance to win. Because, I'm the new user man. You know that. If I can't win. It's doesn't really matter. But, there is a one thing with very important. It's Fair. So, The solution is sounds good. Thank you @steembay Good Decision..

Fair.
